Our Heritage to Save, by Ryana Lynn Miller

Our Heritage to Save by Ryana Lynn Miller

Heritage. Family. Freedom. What would you be willing to do to protect them? This is the question that the soldiers of the Blue and the Gray asked themselves multiple times no doubt during the War Between the States. And the Mason family is not exempt from answering it.

‘I have sons fighting in both armies, and that is not acceptable to me. My younger son chose his…his ‘country’ over his family.”
Seth’s eyes were sincere as he slowly said, “Hard decisions have to be made in time of war, sir. I have cousins in the Union army as well. You’re right, it hurts. It hurts my mama a lot, because she’s from up north. But the rights of life, liberty and property must be defended.’

Join the Masons as they enter the second year of conflict between the Confederacy and the Union. As loyalties are tested, some soldiers must choose between their beliefs and their families. Be reminded that war is not all glory, but also a good deal of anxiety, sorrow and broken dreams.
May the whole family enjoy this story as they seek a closer relationship with the Lord and learn more about our Nation’s history.

My Review:

FTC disclosure: I was given an ebook copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts are my own.

I enjoyed this book a lot more than the first one! I think the writing was better and drew me in more. (Plus, it probably helped that I was already a little more attached to the characters, from reading book one. 😉 ) I greatly enjoyed the SLIGHT SPOILER spy scenes; it was really cool to read about the cousins meeting 🙂 SPOILER END!

I feel like this book had a more medical details than the first one, which could be more gruesome, but, to me, it wasn’t too bad. (It talks about amputation and other wounds in a fair amount of detail, but not a lot of detail.)

I liked the fact that, while there was still historical information in this one, it didn’t seem to be as out-of-context/boring/not applicable to the story as it was in the first book. (It could be just me, but in the first book, I was a little annoyed at the historical sections; I wanted the story! 😛 And yes, I should have put that in my review of that book… maybe I’ll add it.) But that was much better in this book!

The emotion/description/just writing was better in this one and it drew me in more! I greatly enjoyed this book! And I’m looking forward to reading the next! 😉

Notes: You may have noticed that I am not following my regular schedule of posting every other week. That is because I am trying to review all the books in this series before I post for the blog tour for the latest book on May 30th. Thanks for understanding!

Also, I believe the only place to buy these books is on Miss Miller’s website: http://www.lifeofheritage.com. 🙂
